Early on the third morning, a sudden urgent doorbell rang.
Simon Forrester, who was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, went to open the door, glanced through the peephole, and saw it was Thomas Reed. He turned and asked Sienna Thornton, who had been working all night: "Thomas is here, should I let him in?"
Sienna Thornton's pen stopped momentarily, then she nodded a few seconds later.
So, Simon Forrester opened the door.
Seeing that it was him who opened the door, Thomas Reed froze for a moment, then lowered his voice to ask, "What are you doing here?"
He didn't even bother to maintain his demeanor.
Simon Forrester swung the door open, nodding inward with his chin: "Come in first, we can talk inside."
Seeing him in his most ordinary home outfit, being in the same room with Sienna Thornton early in the morning, Thomas Reed instantly understood.
Although he had mentally prepared himself, he still felt very unwilling.
